St. Patty's Day - FET

Our FET transfer was schedule for Monday morning.I ended up calling in sick that day at
work.I was very anxious to have the
transfer and I did not want to go into work and but grouchy, anxious, etc.Basically, I did not want to deal with
people.I feel bad lying about truly not
being sick but I want to keep this cycle secret.With IVF, I never got a chance for the
pregnancy secret and I regret that.I
shared everything during the IVF process that when we found out basically
everyone knew because of my oversharing.It was great to have everyone’s support.It really was.This time though I
just want a period where only Ben and I know.Granted it might not but long… but still.

Ben and I left the house extremely early Monday
morning.We had to take Ava to daycare
in our town and then drive to the city.We had some winter weather the night before and I wasn’t sure how the
roads would getting Ava to daycare and then how the highway would be getting to
the city.We ended up running 45 minutes
ahead of schedule.We stopped and had
breakfast and I got relax a little but I was still very anxious/nervous. I am
not sure what about either.I knew what
the procedure was going to be like. But I was still unsettled.

Ben and I had decided to transfer two embryos.We had three frozen and the clinic would keep
unthawing the embryos until two survived. Per our RE, the embryos had a 90% chance of
surviving thawing.Lucky for us, the
first two thawed successfully and we still have one more embryo frozen.We
transferred two 5-day old embryos.They
were grade A quality embryos.

After the transfer, I felt relieved.Again, I am not sure why I was super anxious
but I am so grateful for the sense of relief.I am continuing progesterone suppositories and the minivelle patches
until a negative pregnancy test or 10 weeks of pregnancy.Here is hoping for the later!I am hoping that transferring on St. Patty’s
day provides us with some luck!

The two week wait has not been too bad so far.I am busy at work, my in-laws are coming in
this weekend so I have to clean the house, I have a baby shower on Saturday,
and I fly out Sunday for a conference.I
return late Wednesday night and first thing Thursday morning I get my blood work
down.We will know in 7 days.I refuse to take a home pregnancy test to
know anything before the blood work.I
never did during IVF and honestly I think it will make me crazy.Where waiting until next Thursday, I have a
date I can count down to.It somehow
relaxes me.Crazy, I am sure but that is
what works for me.

My RE told us we have a 60% chance of pregnancy.I am going to leave you with this statistic I
found online at a different fertility clinic.
